I bought a brand new fdm boat not directly through him that was ARTR with the controller in in... he was happy to answer my questions on it, and even offered for me to send it in and he would see if flier would help me out as he does lots of business with them... we'll see how it goes...no biggy either way... seemed to work great for 2 mins :)
oh and btw Ive ran the boat since on a Fan/water cooled upfited turnigy monster 2000 200a esc and no problems since... after I ran it a few more times though with the 1000kv tp5670 I put a 600kv 5670 and now run 10s2p with a x452 and its been tuned down to just a 55mph sport boat... that Is reliable lol
